About Barbara

I became a care giver because I have a lot of compassion for helping people. I really enjoy learning from my clients about their experiences that they had growing up . Presently I work for a lady that is in her early 50's that had several surgeries in the last few years,I have been taken care of here for the past year and seen her make great progress.She can walk a lot faster and she can bend over and pick stuff off the floor and so much more. I've been married for over 30 years and have 3 children ages 27,24 and 16.

I took care of both of my parents. I love being around their wisdom. They think i'm funny and fun to be with. I would rather be around older people. Aways have since I was little. Guess it started in childhood since that's what we had living around us in our neighborhood.! And feel very blessed that its a calling too. I love talking and most of all listening to my clients. I'm very patient and dependable with a Big Heart.!
